Regarding the North American production copyright of the variety show "Millionaire", Zhu Ke and Cindy's ITV broadcaster, after a full week and repeated as many as 9 times, finally reached an agreement.

Agreement content:

1: Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group paid £6 million in one lump sum to obtain the North American production rights of "Millionaire" from ITV;

2: The authorization period is 5 years, and the broadcast income of UPN TV, a subsidiary of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group, must transfer 15% of the net profit to the British ITV broadcaster;

3: The 15% net profit share paid to ITV companies by North American Millionaire in each season. If it does not reach £500, the insufficient part will need to be supplemented by Jinshuguang Entertainment Group;

...

As for other terms, such as liquidated damages, supplementary statements, there are as many as 30,000 words.

After signing the contract, Zucker scolded ITV's black heart more than once.

Although Zucker only paid 6 million pounds and got the North American copyright of "Millionaire", it seems that the purchase price of "The Got Talent" by Zucker to ITV is not as good as the 20 million pounds of copyright purchase price.

But......

ITV companies are so cunning!!

They also need to share the authorization of each season of North American Millionaire, which is at least 500 pounds. In 5 years, according to the broadcast time of the year, they will receive an additional 25 million pounds of capital from Zucker.

Total of £31 million!

Moreover, this is the lowest price!

Others don’t know the profitability of "Millionaire". As a time traveler, Zhuke knows a lot. Even though it is not those ace variety shows that are super first-tier, it is also a first-class variety show, and its profitability is definitely not low. Therefore, ITV has a vampire-like net profit share of 15%, and each season is definitely no less than 10 million pounds.

"Damn it~ I'm still too kind-hearted!"

Zhu Ke kept cursing in his heart: "When he sold the copyright of "The Got Talent", he thought he had made a lot of money, but now it seems that I'm a fool!"

In fact, it’s not entirely because Zhu Ke is not smart. It’s really too deep in this industry!

Well, let alone Zucker, even if you tie ten Zuckers together, it is not enough for ITV to play. In the field of TV variety shows, they are professional.

"Boss, the matter is done. When will we start back to Los Angeles?" Zhao Wushuang asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke did not answer immediately.

Instead, he began to think.

The purpose of my visit to the UK seems to be mainly to see my girlfriend Lima.

During the negotiations, Zucker spent two days to get along with her.

However, the modeling industry is too busy. She has left the UK and went to France to receive a new round of catwalk training. It is not short, and it is said to be as long as 3 months. Not only that, after the training in France, she also has to go to Milan, Italy to try the stage performance of the Fashion Week, which is said to take two months.

As a model, she has to run around no matter before and after becoming famous, and she has no extra personal time at all.

As for the second purpose of coming to the UK, of course, it is for the great master Nolan.

Nolan is not very good now, but Zhuke, who is familiar with his future achievements, must certainly grasp it. You must know that a well-known and capable director has a huge driving force for a medium and small film company.

Think about Miramax’s Wayne brothers, isn’t it because they invested in Quentin in advance that they can earn a lot of dollar wealth from Hollywood every year?

“Huh?”

Just when Zucker was planning to return to Los Angeles, he suddenly thought of the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter"!

"Zhao Wushuang, you can call Cindy later and ask him to help find someone. Uh... it still won't be possible. Let's spend money on a survey company."

After Zhu Ke finished speaking, bodyguard Zhao Wushuang was immediately confused.

Why did you first ask Cindy to help find someone?

Later, he decided to find someone in the investigation company?

"Haha~!"

Zhuke glanced out the window and murmured, "Cindy, what a shrewd and cunning guy that is! If I ask him to help find the author of "Harry Potter", j·k·Rolling, he might intercept the copyright."

Zhuke couldn't help but be careful, because the benefits involved in "Harry Potter" are too great!

Its movie box office, book sales, peripheral product licensing, etc., has built a market of more than 100 billion US dollars!

Just as Lao Guo said in his crosstalk: "Save wine is popular, and wealth is touching. Silver is cold, but it is hot in his hands. Since ancient times, money has been the most touching."

Therefore, no matter how cautious Zhuke is, it is not an exaggeration!

.........

The process of commissioning the investigation company to find J.K. Rowling, the author of "Harry Potter", was very smooth.

Haha, as long as the money is spent, let alone finding an ordinary person, even those criminals who are wanted by various countries can be found.

This is the charm of money!

Scotland, Edinburgh area.

In an old and backward residential area, Zhuke and his group found Rowling's current residence.

"Hello, Ms. Rowling, I'm Wald Zucker, the person I contacted you yesterday was my personal lawyer."

Zhu Ke pointed at Lawyer Zhang Wei as he spoke.

"I'm glad to meet you!"

Rowling was very excited and happy to welcome Zhu Ke and others into the house. After all, yesterday, Zhang Wei said on the phone that he wanted to purchase the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter".

"Sorry, the family is a little small."

After Rowling welcomed Zhuke and others in, she found that Zhuke and his group could not sit down, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"It's okay, we stand and say the same." Nolan and Zhang Wei expressed their disregard.

Zhuke looked around and found that the house was indeed a little small.

The total area is estimated to be less than 50 square meters, and the living room is even smaller.

Of course, Zucker also has a rough understanding of Rowling's current situation.

She has been divorced for many years and has a 4-year-old daughter with no formal job. She lives a difficult life by receiving £103.50 a week in government relief.

Rowling introduced her daughter who was sitting on the sofa watching TV and said, "This is my daughter Jessica."

Her daughter Jessica, although only 4 years old, was not afraid of the strangers who suddenly visited, watching the TV show intently.

By chance, it was exactly what I saw in "Aerial Baby".

"Ms. Rowling, Mr. Wald is my boss, and he is also the boss of a Hollywood film company. I wonder if you have watched "Rola Run", "Hard Fruit Candy", "Deadly Bends", "Juno" and other movies? They are all produced and distributed by my boss's company." Zhang Wei took the lead in introducing.

"Well......"

Rowling was even more embarrassed when she heard this, "Sorry, you have also seen my life. In recent years, I have not had time to pay attention to movies."

She lives on government relief funds, so where can she have the extra money to watch a movie?

Zhang Wei didn't mind and said, "Ms. Rowling, the original copyright of "Aerial Baby" that your daughter watched was from my boss."

"Uh? Are you saying "Aerial Baby" actually comes from Mr. Wald? Oh my God!"

Obviously, Rowling was even more shocked at this moment.

Speaking of this, it means that Zhu Ke and others are not liars. It also means that she can sell the copyright.

The next time will be negotiations on the copyright related to "Harry Potter".

Regarding the content of the contract, Zhu Ke asked Zhang Weida to formulate extremely strict and detailed methods. Each clause and each article are extremely detailed, and even many additional instructions are provided to prevent possible loopholes as much as possible.

Bodyguard Zhao Wushuang even said that Zhu Ke was too cautious.

But Zucker doesn't think so!

Rowling is a very greedy woman!

Although she is very poor now, once "Harry Potter" begins to become popular, Zhuke has no doubt that she will tear down the contract as soon as possible, and the Lion opens his mouth to ask for more benefits.

In the original time and space, she is such a woman who makes Hollywood giant Time Warner a headache!
